The Cougars rebounded from their loss to Cincinnati to handily defeat East Carolina 74-58 on Wednesday night in Greenville, North Carolina. The Cougars improved to 13-4 overall and 4-1 in the conference.
The Cougars’ 3-point struggle against Cincinnati last Saturday did not follow them to East Carolina. The team didn’t miss a single one of their first seven shots from deep. Their first miss came with 9:59 left in the first half, and the score read 29-16. Only 8 of those points came from within the arc.
Redshirt junior Rob Gray shot out of the gate with deadly precision from beyond the arc, converting the Cougars’ first two possessions to a pair of 3-point baskets.
